11:32PM - More Movin' Stuff...
I actually got some sleep last night...which after a 12 hour shift at work, was nice to have.
I awoke around 2:00am & got the den cleaned out a bit more. The cat is really stressing & not sure what to make about all the stuff in her little world disappearing...Got that done - looked at the clock...went back to a horizontal position until around 7:30am. My brother showed up a little while after that and we got some more of the stuff tossed and/or packed. Just before 9:30am, we went off to pick up the U-Haul (the 14 foot variety). Called Ozzy, who was waiting for her coffee to get done to see if she would be by or not. Didn't have Razzle's #, so couldn't do much there. I think she deserved cold water for the offer anyways....
Bro & I went back to the old place & started getting stuff ready to be moved out. The cat was locked in the bedroom area (much to her displeasure), and we got all of the "big ticket items" loaded up. Forgot the microwave, but that can go later).
Getting heavy, bulky furniture out the door, up 5 steps & into the van was NOTHING compared to getting it all OUT of the van, up 3 flights of stairs & into my new place. My solid wood desk was like a lead weight. The dresser was more "bulky" than "heavy" & there was much actual or implied profanity filling the air. I feel like I burned a zillion calories this afternoon, even though the scale will likely say otherwise...
Ozzy busied herself with finishing my task of getting my bed put together. (Thank You, Ozzy!!). Once that was done, I decided that I can bring most of the rest of the stuff over during the week, so the truck won't be needed until it's time to move the sofas from the parent's place later on....
I do still see the light at the end of this tunnel. This CAN be done.
I need to call the ex again to see what she plans on doing with her items that remain in the place. I am not responsible for them after the 15th, so I hope she decides soon....
Anyhoo...after getting back to the old place, the cat let me know she was not happy. I was growled at, hissed at, swatted at & got some nasty looks. My cat's world is being made topsy-turvy & she is stressing a bit, to say the least. She's not going to like me even more in the next day or so when I have to get her into the kitty carrier & drive her over. It will not be pretty!!
Such is the State of My World lately...My old place is starting to feel like an echo chamber.
I wonder if the cat is going to be back to her civil self when I get back home tonight (or early morning...)?
Yikes!
